05/04/2024 - Leader's Announcements
The Leader announced that Ollie Somervell from the Communications Team had left after 5 years at the Council. The Leader wished to note for the record thanks for all of the work done by Ollie and offer best wishes to them for the future.
It was also noted that the Local Plan consultation and Cirencester Town Centre MasterPlan consultation closes on 7 April and encouraged the public to engage and provide their comments on the plan.
The Leader wished to raise the issue of coach parking in Bourton-on-the-Water and made the following points:
- The Leader attended a meeting hosted by the Member of Parliament for the Cotswolds Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown on this issue.
- It was highlighted that this issue was a traffic issue and that the Councils interest is providing community leadership and assisting where it can in finding a solution.
- It was highlighted that the proposal to adjust the use of the Rissington Road car park was not seen as viable due to the revenue budget loss and the large capital funds needed to create a facility for coach parking.
- It was noted that the Council would look at proposals and continue to engage with the communities on solutions.
Finally, the Leader wished to raise that the Council is celebrating its 50th anniversary since its creation in 1974 and that over the summer there would be a number of events to mark the history of the Council.
